DuckTales

Looking at the kid's cartoon of the 1980's, I believe that this website lists "DuckTales" as having the highest score of any cartoon of the entire decade and looking back, I certainly agree. I remember owning VHS tapes of the original show when I was really little. I recall seeing the new intro for the show which fortunately kept the same theme song which is among the catchiest of all time. The animation style is all brand new but it's still authentic to the original series. Having seen just the first two episodes, I'm blown away at how amazing they are. Thank you, Disney XD for another great show!

If "Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil" was the next "Gravity Falls", is this the next "Star Vs."? This may in fact be even better than the original. In the original, the character Webigail wasn't really that interesting. She wasn't bad, she was more like a stereotypical little girl. This version, on the other hand is way smarter and is an action girl all the way! Thank you for improving this character! We even get more screen time with Donald Duck which was oddly lacking from the original show a lot. We even get some new villains or henchman of Flintheart Glomgold.

My only complaint is that Huey, Dewey, and Louie's voices are a bit too mature. We even get shout outs to locations in other Disney cartoons from around the same time period. A new universe they're creating, perhaps? I just love all the constant movements and action. They're not doing that much to make the show relevant again by changing any personalities and it's working perfectly! Everyone is in character or better than they were before and I see the beginning of an awesome show! ****

I've seen some reviews ranting about how this show isn't faithful to the original and too much has changed in the reboot. I however strongly disagree. The reboot is very faithful to the original, without repeating the exact same formula as the original had. All of the characters, including the triplets and Webby, now have their own personality.

Webby is no longer the stereotypical "girly" fourth triplet. She's spontaneous, creative and a quick thinker as well as a quick talker (even more so in stressful situations).

Huey seems to be the only one who's still in the Junior Woodchucks. He's the oldest, more organized triplet. He's not as spontaneous as his siblings are. But make no mistake: he's still mischievous. He seems to be cool with getting dragged into dangerous situations together with his two younger brothers, never showing any signs of being really scared. He's level headed. But can get overly excited about small things such as activities on field trips.

Dewey is the middle child. He's extremely spontaneous even more so than Webby and his two brothers. He's not afraid of putting his own life in danger. He seems to enjoy taking risks that put him in deadly situations.

Louie is the youngest triplet. He's by far the most laid back triplet. He likes to slack off. A lot. He is, however, ready to act whenever the need arises. He has talked to Webby more his brothers thus far.

Scrooge McDuck is believed to be the uncle of Donald Duck but the triplets have always called him uncle Scrooge. He's the richest duck in the world. He has a bit of an Indiana Jones vibe about him. He is famous in the world as an adventurer and loves to get himself into trouble (unlike the Scrooge in the old series). Despite his old age he's surprisingly agile and can take quite the beating and still fight back without any problem.

Donald Duck is the Uncle and the caretaker of the triplets. Unlike the original show, Donald will have an important role in the reboot. He was Scrooge's sidekick once but they parted ways after an incident of some kind.

I like the new voice actors surprisingly much. Some say the triplets sound a bit too old but I think it works. The writing is simply brilliant! Witty, mysterious and adventurous!

Seriously give the show a chance even if you never watched the original series. It's a reboot done right.

I enjoyed the original series but rarely got to watch it. I finally took the time to watch the new series and was thoroughly impressed! The animation, story beats, and comedy are all great! The first season is generally more episodic while the latter seasons become more serialized. The earlier seasons are stronger in terms of character development, but the latter seasons are stronger in terms of villain and story development. The show is witty, fun, and simply by good time had by all. It's sad that it only lasted three seasons, but it does seem they took these characters as far as they could go.

Even though I've only seen 10 episodes of the original series, I really enjoyed watching them. So when watching this reboot I did have high expectations unlike everyone else, and I was also afraid that it might suck badly because most reboots in recent years have been borderline trash. This reboot is not trash, not even close. It stays faithful to the original series, has great writing, and the jokes constantly hit. I've seen a few people complain about the art style and honestly, it's actually really good and fits well with the new comic book style the series is taking. The voice acting is better than the original (although Alan Young as Scrooge in the original is still brilliant) and I love David Tennant as Scrooge. He fits the character so well and does such a great job. Even though we only have two episodes so far, they are two episodes that I adored and I'm pretty sure fans of the original series will love this just as much, if not more than the original. The animation is gorgeous as well. It isn't choppy and is actually really fluid and the original Pac-Man shaped black eyes for the pupils are a very nice touch. Overall, this is a great reboot and you should watch it right now. Great job all around, can't wait for new episodes!

When my kids were little, there were some really good cartoons that I enjoyed watching with them, such as "Pinky and the Brain", "Animaniacs" and "Freakazoid". Watching these cartoons with them wasn't a chore like it was when they watched the likes of "Muppet Babies" (uggh!!) and many of the more insipid cartoons. Why do I mention this? Because I see the reboot of "DuckTales" to be similar...a cartoon that adults AND kids can both enjoy. This is because the show is exquisitely well written--with many clever references to various Disney shows and some very intelligently written plots. I particularly love seeing the Glomgold episodes...especially the one where he took over the show (complete with his own theme song). Overall, a clever and fun show...and one you should try to get your kids interested in seeing, as otherwise you might have to watch it alone.
